Text 140, Chapter 28 Cutting off the Three Heroes (1)
Liu Xiu is indeed a busy man. He has to take care of his family as well as work.
In family affairs, he not only has to fight for the maximum interests of the family members, but also to lay the foundation for the long-term control of the empire, but also to resolve conflicts, balance all parties, and strive for harmony.
In his work, he not only had to formulate and implement the principles and policies for governing the country and securing the country, but also regularly arranged and even personally went into battle to recruit dissident forces in various places.
At the same time, as emperor, his family affairs and work could not be strictly separated.
Fortunately, Liu Xiu is not ordinarily good, he handled all this in an orderly manner.
When dealing with these various family and state affairs, Liu Xiu always adhered to a purpose, or purpose, that is: to unify the world and consolidate the imperial power.
In the first few years of ascending the throne, some of the children have not yet been born, some are still young, Guo Shengtong's temper is not so bad, and Liu Xiu has relatively more time directly devoted to work.
He's goal-oriented, energetic and always on the move.
Here, let's take a look at his series of actions: cutting off the three heroes.
In fact, through the previous introduction, everyone must also understand that in the process of ascending the throne and sitting firmly, Liu Xiu dealt with more than 3 armed separatist groups. In the future, we will introduce the list in due course.
Now, I want to tell you that among the dozens of armed separatist groups, in addition to the ones already introduced, there are 3 of the strongest and the greatest threat to Liu Xiu, and we want to package and launch them grandly.
These brothers and sons are also acquaintances of everyone, as the main actors of Liu Xiu starring in the social life drama, they have met with us and done performances, and some of the performances still have a certain level.
These guys are:
Peng Chong, who called himself the king of Yan in Yuyang in the north, Kui Huan, who called himself the general of Xizhou in Tianshui in the west, and Gongsun Shu, who claimed to be the emperor in Chengdu, in the southwest.
There is also a reason why we call this brother "Three Heroes":
First, they all have a clear political purpose, that is, to resolutely oppose Liu Xiu as the first brother, claim the king and hegemony themselves, and find opportunities to be the first brother.
For example, Gongsun Shu had long engraved the words "Gongsun Emperor" on his palm, and later directly called the emperor in Chengdu, and Peng Chong and Kui Huan were called kings respectively.
Second, they are all working hard to build their own organizational system, appointing civilian adjutants, worshipping generals, recruiting talents, establishing and constantly expanding the army, and their power has expanded rapidly.
Third, they all have their own base areas, and they have worked hard to win over the masses and form an independent kingdom.
You know, if you have the above conditions, many places can develop into independent countries.
What's even worse is that they are not only self-reliant and do not recognize Liu Xiu's status as the first brother, but also directly attack and fight back against Liu Xiu from time to time.
In addition to not being surnamed Liu, this brother and son all have the basic conditions to dominate the world at any time.
This made Liu Xiu very unhappy.
What needs to be reminded is that as actors, the performance styles of these brothers are different: Peng Pet is resentful and sad, Confucianism and scheming, and Gongsun Shu is conceited and ruthless.
When they were playing with Liu Xiu, they used their own ways and from different angles to constantly test Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's actor skills are profound, his entry and exit are seamless, and his performance skills are perfect.
He used very targeted actions to make a few moves with this brother, sometimes as quiet as a virgin, cold-eyed observation, sometimes as if he was taking off a rabbit, using his hands and feet at the same time, and it didn't take long to kick this brother off the stage.
This is certainly very interesting.
These brothers performed on stage almost at the same time, and Liu Xiu also played against them almost at the same time.
For the convenience of narration and for the convenience of everyone's appreciation, we had to explain them separately in the order in which they stepped down.
Come on, friends!
